Furthermore, Mobile users, especially on Android, have also encountered difficulties. While some users can still access the service, others receive an “Internal Server Error” when making queries. In addition, ChatGPT’s premium subscribers are also affected with users witnessing slowed responses or no reply at all.
OpenAI’s status page indicates that they are investigating the issue. However, no further details are available yet regarding the expected duration of the ChatGPT outage. Notably, ChatGPT experienced a major outage on May 23, lasting over 8 hours. Despite these outages, OpenAI maintains an impressive 99.67% uptime rate over the past 90 days.

Aftermath Of Recent Service Disruption
Users were unable to generate any responses on ChatGPT amid the ongoing outage. In addition, some of them can’t even login using their credentials. Hence, the users became furious and vented their frustration on X, with #ChatGPTDown to express their situation.
In addition, the recent outage was worldwide, attracting attention from ChatGPT users around the world. They also reported experiencing a “Bad Gateway Error” while trying to access the chatbot features. Moreover, ChatGPT provided outdated information in some cases.
However, it was also seen that the ChatGPT interface was working fine in the incognito mode for some users. They suggested that the current outage mostly affects logged in users. Hence, the ones who aren’t logged in or have tried accessing the services via Chrome’s incognito mode could witness improvement in the response time and efficiency.
Whilst, users demanded OpenAI to provide a timeline of the repairment of this issue. Nevertheless, the company hasn’t provided further updates on when the ChatGPT outage could be resolved. Given the history of service failures, the issue might take a few hours to be tackled by OpenAI.
